Wander the wind-scoured ruins of the priory where Christianity took hold in Anglo-Saxon Northumbria, then climb the small castle above the bay.
What to expect
The rust-red sandstone arches stand roofless against the sky, with an interpretation centre explaining the island's role in producing the Lindisfarne Gospels. A short walk up the village leads to the diminutive castle, more a fortified house than a fortress, with fine views back over the mudflats.

Good to know
Check the Holy Island causeway safe-crossing times for your exact date before setting out — the road floods twice daily and this genuinely dictates your whole visit window.
